September is Library Card Sign-up Month, when Libraries nationwide join the American Library Association (ALA) to remind parents, caregivers, and students that signing up for a Library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning.
Libraries play a crucial role in the education and development of children, offering a variety of programs to spark creativity and stimulate an interest in reading and learning. Through access to technology, media resources and educational programs, a Library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams, explore new passions and interests, and find their voice.
At Queen Anne’s County Library, patrons can find a variety of educational resources and activities, including tutoring resources, lifelong learning programs, and access to technology.
“Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children.  We have Library programs that serve students at every level of their development from story times to foster early literacy skills, to STEM programs to spark creativity, to teen gaming programs to encourage cooperative behavior.”
Throughout the month of September, anyone who signs up for a first time Library card at the Queen Anne’s County Library – Kent Island or Centreville Branches will be entered to win a gift bag with prizes for the whole family.
Queen Anne’s County Library along with Libraries everywhere, continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving community needs. To sign up for a Library card or to learn more about the Library’s resources and programs, come visit the Library or visit www.qaclibrary.org
